SVE support should be enabled regardless of the build machine. The same binary must run on both SVE and non-SVE machines, using SVE if it is advantageous. I suppose some ancient C++ compilers without SVE support still exist, but I see no very good reason to support them building JDK 22+. Making a configure option to disable SVE support for vector math is a mistake, but IMO mostly harmless because no-one will ever turn it off. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/16234#discussion_r1406450888
